An Assessment of Space Shuttle Flight Software Development Processes
Review the entire flight software development process from the initial requirements definition phase to final implementation, including object code build and final machine loading. • Review and critique NASA's independent verification and validation process and mechanisms, including NASA's established software development and testing standards. • Determine the acceptability and adequacy of the complete flight software development process, including the embedded validation and verification processes through comparison with (1) generally accepted industry practices, and (2) generally accepted Department of Defense and/or other government practices (comparing NASA's program with organizations and projects having similar volumes of software development, software maturity, complexity, criticality, lines of code, and national standards). • Consider whether independent verification and validation should continue.
